Washington -
A Predator drone previously used for patrolling North Dakota’s northern border is now being used to patrol at least a 900 mile section of the Canada-US border from the “vicinity” of Spokane, Washington to the Lake-of-the-Woods region of Minnesota.

A new predator drone will begin flying over the Texas-Mexico border beginning on Wednesday, “providing critical aerial assistance to personnel on the ground,” the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Monday.

The government of Pakistan has failed to protect their borders from Taliban fighters as well as Al Qieda militants, critics say. Drones have been employed to better protect the border and eliminate the threat posed to Pakistan.
